I think its called Lonsdale Paint Supp, Go down South Rd until you get to Junk Food Junction just past reynella, then turn right at lights and crank down that road until you go over/under Southern Expressway and then just up on the right cant miss it!!

where can the public get automotive paint such as 2pac or do u have to be a business/trader?

yeah i dont know how keen paint places are on selling 2K products to general public. We use PPG at work, i can get that at trade prices. But usually i go to protec out at gillman (for my quick jobs), they manufacture all their own paint products (cheaper to manufacture, therefore cheaper to buy), and its quality stuff too. i know one of the guys there, so he always gives me stuff for better than trade prices.

So they would mix a custom paint code for you if they could? btw where is gillman, i cant be bothered looking it up atm. how much would paint all up cost me sam, an extimate, i was quoted from a guy just for 2pac was something like $400 is that around the ball park figure or was he talking out his ass. This wouldnt include the equipment required of course.

Gillman is where willall racing is, on the same road actually. yeah, custom paint no worries, gimme an idea of what you want and ill look it up at work & adjust the mix ie. more pearl or whatever. not 100% on prices, depends on how much of the car u want to paint ie, edges & all

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
